A 40-year-old man in Illinois will spend more than a year in a federal correctional facility for making violent threats against the lives of President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and several congressional Democrats.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Lawless on Wednesday ordered Adam R. Mouser to serve a sentence of 14 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to one count of making threats against the President of the United States, authorities announced. Mouser faced a maximum possible sentence of five years. Following his incarceration, Mouser will also be required to serve two years of supervised release.
According to a news release from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Central District of Illinois, Lawless scolded Mouser during Wednesdays sentencing hearing, telling him that words do matter.
I believe it is common sense to not threaten to kill another individual, she said, emphasizing that the threats were repeated and escalated, even after Secret Service agents went to Mousers home.

Does ANYBODY think, for a minute, that when he gets out he WON'T ACT on his lunacy???
Just like his cult god, violence is his DNA at this point.
Mark my words, this jerk-off will end up hurting or killing someone.

As it is, he's probably just another cantankerous Fox News undergrad who went beyond his angry letters to the editor.
